Individual Assignment #1 (As you add more individual assignments, put each new assignment ABOVE the previous one. Add a horizontal line between the assignments).
Create a new WIKI page using your initials and the name of your novel(s) as the title. Link it to your main page.
As you read your story, pay attention to the following:
Name the major character(s). Name the minor character(s). In what ways do the minor character(s) affect the main character(s)?
What decision(s) has a character made that you totally disagree with. Tell why you disagree with it.
How does this story change your thinking?
Write your ideas on your WIKI page. This should be an ongoing assignment throughout the week. As you read more chapters, add more information.
Your insights can be written using bullet points, using short sentences, or writing paragraphs - your choice.
Due date: Friday, March 9 The major character of the story is Henry, a American pilot. The minor characters are the school teacher, Madame, Pierre, and all of the maquis he has met. The minor characters were the reason Henry got home. Madame had him stay with him for about a week. Pierre and his family had Henry stay with them at their farm for about a month.
I would disagree with Henry going to the war and not finishing college. If he went and finished college, he could get a good job and help pay for everything at his farm. And he also wouldn't have the nightmares that he has about Pierre and World War II. All he was trying to do was impress Clayton. That was a mistake. Clayton, in my opinion, loves Henry deep down inside. He just doesn't want to show it like Lilly.
This story changes my thinking in World War II. It does because the pilots in all of the planes, from all of the countries, they didn't even know who they were bombing. They went to where they had to go to bomb and they came back. Not even thinking of the lives they are taking. The civilians had to go into cover because they didn't want to die by bombs. Marco -This is so much better. All it took was a little more time and effort to answer the questions. You probably could even find more evidence to support your responses!!! Don't you think it's sad that Henry thought he had to impress his father or 'prove himself' in order for him to think he could 'earn' his father's love? Not a very good reason to enter a war! But I agree with you; his dad does really love him. He just has a difficult time showing his feelings.
